Even were the spammers able to coordinate and get a game greenlighted (doubtful at best), they would still get kicked out by normal reporting procedures, requiring an endless parade of $5 accounts to keep scamming.

I received three invites this week from scammers. rather than ignore, I accept, wait for the bait then report. Two sent fake steam community links that were typosquatting malware, I did not investigate further as I was not near a test box and did not want a drive by infection. One sent a bit.ly link to a trojan downloader. When I put it in my test system, it promptly installed cryptowall3. Personally I am all for reasonable measures to curtail these douches. $5 seems reasonable to me.

I am an opponent of the death penalty, but one minute of holding breath is not the same. When you are holding breath, you have stored oxygen in your blood. After decapitation there is no more blood flowing.

AGW and antivaxxers fly in the face of established science. With hair forensics there was no established science, just an echo chamber of 'experts' under pressures to prove guilt. This is just FBI cases. What about state and other cases based on the same science? What of other "scientific" forensic processes then and now that a jury can't possibly understand. All a jury knows is that a congenial, nicely dressed, "expert" with superior "credentials, certifications, education, and achievements" states that the scumbag in the defense chair must have done it. I do not care if the defendant is a dick of the first order and that they have the right guy a larger percentage of the time. It is unacceptable to let any innocent person rot in prison or be killed falsely.

It's in response to the trolling,racist, parent comment. That is why his race is mentioned. It to s not obvious the comment has a parent since the author removed the re and changed the title. Click parent on that post and see for yourself the anus of society.

Robots.txt is about as secure as leaving a cash drawer with the key in it and a post-it that states "please leave cash inside".

Well let's see. Pork and graft in government (primarily military) spending... wastes billions, a few get rich, stuf is built to kill people. We all pay, and it is the status quo.

Fraud and abuse in social programs.. a fairly low percentage of the total spent, millions of people get a little help or hand up, and we arent using the money to kill people.

Your Kompressor example is an anecdote. Waste in spending is the norm. I am not saying that either end of the spectrum could not be administered better - they certainly could - however, a few fraudsters (or a few thousand) getting an extra 200 a month is much less than one pork barrel project that costs .5B when it is known to be unlikely at best. And it is less still than the corporations who socialize losses by not offering fulltime or decent wage jobs, placing the profits in their pockets and the burden on the taxpayer.

Lease or build a stingray and connect to it. It should have deep packet inspection capabilities and catch things before being stripped on Verizon's network.

We are not in a golden age, but a dilithuim age. It is not sluggish and gilded, but moving a warp speed! Where is it moving.. well, sensors are down right now.

On occasion. Typically what it accomplishes as a switch in position of the upper and middle classes, on the backs of the lowest classes, many of whom may get a slight nudge upward in power/money/class to blind them to the truth.

It is because space is BIG. Look at our galaxy, our closest neighbor is what 4.6 lightyears away. Even if you double the amount of stars in the same space, they will interact gravitationally sure, but colliding is like dumping 1000 toothpicks in random places in the oceans and having them collide.

I am simply stating that AZ already makes requirements of sellers. It is cheaper for them to require standard prep and packaging than to create a robot that can handle all situations. Given the amount of product they move, it is not a far stretch to imagine them starting to require it and sellers capitulating.

I have a side business as an Amazon FBA seller. One thing that is often required is item preparation before sending it to an AZ warehouse. This can be bagging, bubble wrapping, etc depending on the item. Amazon also already has frustration free packaging for many items. instead of the impossible clam shell its a simple cardboard sleeve for many items.

Looking at this, I see it as possible in the future for amazon to require manufacturers and sellers to package items in standard size and shape boxes to make it easy for the bots.
